Glass cookware is sleek, nostalgic and supposedly indestructible — until it shatters into a thousand pieces right as you serve dinner. I learned this the hard way when I pulled a bubbling shepherd’s ...

In response to reports of explosive-like glass cookware failures, researchers applied basic materials engineering concepts to identify the causes. They found that current glass cookware sold in the ...

If you've ever poured hot water into a Pyrex glass dish and been shocked to see it fracture before your eyes, a new report may give you some insight into what's going on. Pyrex glassware, which came ...

Casserole dishes aren't usually of great interest to materials engineers, but exploding casserole dishes are quite another story. In this month's Bulletin of the American Ceramic Society, University ...

Newer cookware, made from soda lime silicate glass instead of borosilicate glass, has a smaller shatterproof temperature range. Christopher Intagliata reports When Pyrex cookware first came out, it ...

This transparent material is designated for LCDs, telescope mirrors, electronic sensors, and other uses within optical, MEMS, nuclear energy, and other precision-engineered applications since it can ...

A new paper appearing in the September 2012 edition of the Bulletin of The American Ceramic Society for the first time provides a scientific explanation of why some glass cookware sold in the United ...
